What this episode covers

Patrick Yeon, an electrical engineer and lead at the nonprofit space organization Nonprofit Spaceship (formerly of Planet Labs), discusses the challenges of building small spacecraft and influencing space policy. He joins hosts Sarah White and Christopher White to debate embedded software testing strategies, specifically the use of mocks versus real data, and the importance of design patterns like the Command Pattern for scalable command-line interfaces. The conversation also covers leadership advice, recommending books like 'Turn the Ship Around!' and 'The Manager's Path' for new technical managers.

    Software for Rockets with Charles Aylward

    Charles Aylward, a software and hardware consultant at Grizzly Peak Systems, discusses his time at Astra, a 'new space' launch vehicle company. He explains how he designed flight control software for small rockets using rigorous engineering principles, such as eliminating software modes and treating debug data as first-class telemetry. Aylward details the technical challenges of distributed systems, real-time constraints, and the use of Ethernet and CAN bus to ensure deterministic behavior in a lean team environment. He emphasizes that this rigor, including specific design reviews and checklists, is essential for safety and reliability in high-stakes hardware development.

    Testing on the Host vs Target

    Jeff Gable and Luca discuss the strategy of testing embedded software on the host machine versus the target hardware, arguing that host testing catches the majority of bugs while target testing is reserved for hardware-specific interactions. They introduce architectural patterns like the Model-Hardware-Controller (MHC) and the Data Model pattern to decouple business logic from hardware, enabling effective unit testing. The conversation also covers handling resource-constrained systems by optimizing last and using special integration tests to uncover low-level bugs like interrupt priority issues.
